6-8🈷️The Genyen Sacred Mountain Scenic Area can be said to be the ceiling of western Sichuan. Because of its high altitude [the average altitude is about 4,000 meters], there are many secret places here that are little known to the public. The beautiful scenery here is not inferior to Yili in Xinjiang. . Secret Realm ❶: [Xia Zetong Village] After driving through the colorful summer and arriving at the golden autumn, we drove slowly on the gravel road to see the cabin in "Heidi and Grandpa" 🏕️, and then checked in at the lonely tree at the foot of the sacred mountain 🌲, and witnessed this autumn romance with the majestic Genyen sacred mountain ⛰️. . Secret Realm ❷: [Eye of Genyen] The Eye of Genyen is located in the southwest of Litang County, Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan Province, and the east of Batang County. The Eye of Genyen is actually a pond with a diameter of only a few dozen meters, but the grass and water are reflected in each other, like a giant eye, clear and bright. The magical thing is that in the pond of the Eye of Genyen, there is a circle of water plants, which just forms a circle like a pupil, making the eye look more vivid, and it is known as the "eye to heaven." . Secret place ❸: [Xinleng Ancient Temple] Backed by the main peak of Mount Genyen, the temple is sacred and solemn because the snow on the top of the mountain never melts all year round. The new temple is rich in color and in very good hardware condition. . Secret place ❹: [Maoya Prairie] If the Maoya Prairie in summer is like Monet's garden, then the Maoya Prairie in autumn and winter is the Milky Way shining down on earth. The sky is high and clear, the grass and trees are golden🌿, how can one describe such a picture⛰️: the river🏞️ flows through, cattle, sheep and horses are walking on it, and the smoke from cooking in the distance mixes with the thin morning mist, as if entering a fairyland🏞️. . Secret place ❺: [Eternal Youth Kerr Temple] In Tibetan areas, there is a saying that "there are the three major temples in Lhasa above, the Ta'er Temple in Anduo below, and the Changqingchunkor Temple in Litang in the middle." Changqingchunkol Temple is the largest temple in the southern part of Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, and is as famous as the three major temples in Lhasa in the Yellow Sect. It is built on a hillside. The temple is golden, white and red in color, and the colors are magnificent, solemn and holy. . 🚗【Route Recommendation】 D1️⃣: Chengdu-Kangding-Gediram Sky City-Xinduqiao D2️⃣: Xinduqiao - Eighteen bends on the Heavenly Road - Litang - Lamaya Township - Mount Genie - Natural Wild Hot Spring - Ranyueka Village D3️⃣: Ranrika Village - Eye of Genyen - Lenggu Temple - Crossing the Southern Line of Genyen - Batang D4️⃣: Batang-Cuopugou-Maoya Grassland-Yajiang/Litang D5️⃣: Yajiang/Litang-Moshi Park-Muya Temple-Gunong Village-Xinduqiao D6️⃣: Xinduqiao-Honghaizi-Internet celebrity Airport Road-Chengdu . ⚠️【Notes】 1.
